Why do they need it, is the question. If it's supported and stable, it
should just be enabled, end of story, in my opinion. I believe it was
optional in KDE due to it not being stable for some reason (either GCCs
at the time were sketchy or their build system problems weren't smoothed
out, I guess).

Why not enable it by default and unconditionally (other than GCC version
being used supporting it) in this specific case?
